these years

I knew and figured with every year that past it would be hard! My twins are ready to turn 8 and the baby 8months. I'm trying to plan the twins a birthday party but at the same time it hurts because I will never get to see my De'Onna's face on her eighth birthday. I cant cry or let my girls see that I'm down on their birthday so that's going to be the biggest hurdle for this month, but the baby girl De'Mya turns one on Aug.20 and De'Onna turns 2 on sept.16 but she died on sept.11 ! I was so sad when the doct. told me I was due with De'Mya on sept.12 I even asked the doctor could they enduce me in aug. but my wish was granted the natural way she came on her own in Aug. But it's still painfull. last year we released balloons up into the sky for De'Onna on her B-day and the twins attached note to them for her telling her happy birthday and that they missed her. I dont know I feel like I'm ungratefull because I have 3 beautiful girls still here with me and still let De'Onna's death sadden me during the times I should be happy for them.I just dont know what to do or who to talk to because my boyfriend dont like to discuss the death and my mom & sisters tell me I done had enough time to grieve I need to get over it or I'm letting her death control my life. I need help

I am sad because you feel the way you do, but happy that you have a place like DS to come to. It seems sometimes that everyone else wants to just get on with life, but for you as the mother I can understand at times that may be hard. My son was born 5 days before his sister would have been one - he was due on her b'day &amp; I insisted on being induced early, so that he'd have his own day.

i know it's hard, and will continue to be hard, each and every year, it's unfair for people to tell us mum's to move on or get over it, it just doesn't happen like that anyway, even if we wanted it to... I am so sorry for your loss, and i understand because i have two angels babies my son Xzavier would be 3 and my daughter Kalaiah will be 2 in sept.... i also have two older daughters Des'ree is 14 and Tonishia is 12.... each and every day i fight with myself to carry on, it is easier sometimes when i just concentrate on my daughters, i know the struggle you are having you want to be the best mother to your children you have on earth with you but can't stop thinking about your angel, i feel the same way, just be the best you can and iam sure when your children need your attention you are there, let them distract you and allow yourself to be happy if that's what you need, we all need to be happy and through the love of our children we can be, the love of all our children, alive or not... i wish i could give you an easy answer but the truth is there isn't one... we are all different eventhough we share similar stories we has humans still go through live differently all i can say is be true to yourself and allow yourself to feel the way you need to, if you need to cry then cry but if you need to smile and be happy then do that too.... it's important for the process to take each day as it comes and be true to yourself and your children

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
